What kind of tights with this dress?

bought this oasis dress to wear to a class reunion (dress code "black tie/ lounge suit"). it's a sit-down dinner followed by dancing. it's mid-october so am guessing it will be chilly, and am not good with the cold. thinking of taking a pashmina with mixed rust colours as a wrap...what about tights? am olive skinned and find it difficult to match tights to my skin tone. is sheer black a bad idea? any links/ suggestions re where to buy will be very welcome

I think tights a good idea (as well as keeping you warm they make your feet more comfy in shoes usually).

Lovely dress. I wouldn't wear black sheer tights with it - I don't like black and blue together. I might wear navy sheer and navy/ dark blue shoes (hard to tell the true colour).

I have olive skin also and tbh by the time mid October comes around my legs are not very tanned anyway and I have no trouble wearing "natural" tights from somewhere like Tesco's.

Good luck and enjoy your reunion.

i'd try these in the navy and purple pack

i think either could look good.

or just naural/nude tights.

Thanks cruella and totoros - would prefer nude I think. Any links to good (but not £££) nude tights where you can get lots of shades?
